It is unknown exactly how many cats and kittens are living as barn cats in Northern NY, but the number is very high. This cycle is devastating for cats; many die every year from starvation or disease, yet thousands of kittens are born every year to replace the ones that have died. Spay it Forward NY is hoping to address this issue and offer spay and neuter surgeries at a drastically reduced cost to farmers. Spayed and neutered cats will live longer, stick closer to home and best of all, not reproduce! For those who are afraid their constant source of cats will "dry up" once their current cats are sterilized, we can assure you with 100% certainty that there will never be a lack of barn cats.
